Anyone have any info on perch that were illegally planted in yellow water?

Nothing official, just rumors at the winnett bar during deer season.  A couple of the locals were talking about the perch in YW, I asked when they started stocking perch and they said they didn't think it was done through FWP, probably a bucket from Vogel or Payola.

I just saw a sentence or 2 about it in the fish and game fishing newsletter on their website. If the picture of the 2 perch they showed were from yellow water they might get pretty big, they looked to be between 10 and 11 inches

Not trying to say bucket biology is good by any means but if fish are already in might as well try to catch them  :P
